The Lost Girl

by Alan Jacobson

Amy Robbins suffers a tragedy no one should ever the loss of her young daughter and husband in a deadly accident. Mired in a depressive fog, her successful career vanishes—followed by her life savings and the will to live. But while biding time in a dead-end job, she stumbles on something that upends everything—and lays bare a disturbing truth at the heart of a tragic lie.
With fixer Mickey Keller attempting to take from Amy the last hope she has for a return to a normal life, her sister-in-law—FBI Agent Loren Ryder—squares off against Keller in a heart-pounding climax that will leave you wondering who are the good guys and who are the bad. In the words of Rizzoli and Isles’ creator Tess Gerritsen, “Jacobson expertly ratchets up the tension and shows us that the most courageous heroes are those with everything to lose.”

Reviews

[Gary Hahn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've read several books by this author, but this book includes introduction to a new character. Not sure whether there will be more or not. There are a lot of twists and turns and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Look forward to future books including this new main character who was on the side of the law, but now is in a gray area but being pushed by former partners to come back to the lawful side of activities.

Came across this release on hoopla and as a fan of the Karen Vail series decided to give it a try.

It was just ok for me, both the subject matter and the storyline were depressing. Former attorney Amy Robbins, lost her husband & daughter in a car crash. Since then, she's had a few mental issues, works in a bakery and lives in her brothers garage. One day, she meets a nanny & her charge at the park and a spark ignites. She meets them daily for lunch and everyone can see the change in Amy.

Meanwhile, the parents of the girl are planning an IPO for a biotech company worth possible billions and any whiff of scandal can derail it. Enter Amy, her obsession with the girl that reminds her of her deceased daughter and the ex LAPD now fixer Mickey Keller who is tasked with tracking her down.

Easy read.

It was an easy read. I was curious as to how it would be resolved. I was hoping that at some point she was able to reunite with her family.

DNF’d at 15%. The writing was excellent and the narrator was really good too. It just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Not realistic and way too far fetched. But I enjoyed it all the same. A good read.

[Sandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good read

This was a departure from his norm but a great story. Everyone has shades of grey in their lives, it’s interesting to see where it takes you.

A Treat To Read

The Lost Girl has managed to neutralize Ambien. No small accomplishment. As with all Alan Jacobson's books, this one was extremely difficult to put down.
